Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is planning to push for a provision in the next coronavirus package that would stop President Donald Trump from putting his name on any additional stimulus checks.

The so-called "No PR Act" would prohibit the use of federal dollars toward any material that promotes the names or signatures of Trump or Vice President Mike Pence.

"President Trump unfortunately appears to see the pandemic as just another opportunity to promote his own political interests," the New York Democrat said in a statement. "The No PR Act puts an end to the president's exploitation of taxpayer money for promotional material that only benefits his re-election campaign."
